"Big sister, I'm so scared, I'm really so scared..."
Shen Jiajia huddled in the corner of the wall, squatting there, unable to stand up no matter what.
Shen Mengqi felt a deep fear inside her, far from the calm and fearless demeanor she was trying to project. After all, she was only just twenty years old.
Shen Jiajia was a flower grown in a greenhouse; how was Shen Mengqi any different? She too could feel fear and anxiety, but at times like this, fear and anxiety were the most useless emotions.
Seeing her sister on the verge of emotional collapse, she knew she had to be strong and absolutely could not break down!
"Sister, if we want to survive, we must leave here and go to the Embassy. Otherwise, staying in this dilapidated building that could collapse at any moment puts our lives in danger."
Shen Mengqi tried to persuade her sister to come with her to the Embassy. She could not leave her sister behind in such a dangerous place where they could lose their lives at any moment. Even in life-and-death situations, she would not abandon her responsibility as an older sister—to protect her younger sister!
However, Shen Jiajia just shook her head vigorously and eventually sat on the ground sobbing, refusing to leave with Shen Mengqi.
Shen Mengqi was sweating profusely with anxiety but felt helpless against her sister's refusal to move. She couldn't force her to leave. The idea of knocking her sister out and dragging her away was nothing more than a ridiculous plot from a television drama!
If she really tried to do that, it would definitely involve killing her sister! Moreover, she didn't have the ability to carry her sister on a long journey to the Embassy. Even just listening to the gunfire outside, they could imagine how many obstacles and dangers lay ahead; with a stroke of bad luck, they might lose their lives.
"Sister, I'm your older sister. Trust me and come with me to the Embassy!"
"No, I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying right here..."
"Staying here is even more dangerous. Every minute you stay increases the risk!"
Just as the two were at an impasse, the phone in Shen Mengqi's hand suddenly emitted a crisp alarm sound.
Following the sound, she looked over and found Xiao Ai appearing from the phone without her having to wake it up.
"Detecting that the owner is in a dangerous environment. Hiding mode activated. Intelligent safety protection system officially initiated."
As soon as the words were spoken, a virtual holographic map appeared before Shen Mengqi, leaving her stunned.
"The Embassy is three blocks away. The safest route has been planned, with an estimated travel time of forty minutes. Please follow the instructions to reach the Embassy."
Shen Mengqi stared in astonishment at the holographic display hovering above her phone.
Even Shen Jiajia, who was crying with her arms resting on her chin, couldn't help but look up with tear-filled eyes.
The holographic street scene displayed everything on the street, with a green line outlining the route, guiding them toward the Embassy. The two green dots on the hologram represented her and her sister Shen Jiajia, while the constantly moving red dots likely represented the anti-Rebels. Notably, there were no red dots on the planned route shown in the holographic image.
This route was safe.
After seeing this holographic image, Shen Mengqi felt her fear and anxiety slightly diminish. She pulled her sister Shen Jiajia up from the ground and pointed at the holographic projection on her phone, saying, "We are going to the Embassy. The Patriot Phone will lead us there safely."
At that moment, Shen Jiajia felt a surge of hope, like a drowning person grasping a straw. After seeing the route planned by the Patriot Phone, she finally felt reassured and was no longer too frightened to get up like before.
"Yes, we both need to survive!"
She got up from the ground, grabbed her sister Shen Mengqi's hand, and they left the hotel together.
